Mayor proposes committee to fill open Nutter Fort council seat; applicants to be invited
Summary
Following the absence-related vacancy, Mayor Sam Maxson proposed a three-person committee (Mayor plus Councilors Charlene Louk and Rick Lafferty) to vet candidates to fill the open council seat under WV State Code; the council was asked to submit questions and the town will publish application instructions online.
Council discussed replacing the absent council member in accordance with West Virginia law. Mayor Sam Maxson said state code places the responsibility on the sitting governing body to make the appointment and suggested forming a selection committee composed of himself with Councilors Charlene Louk and Rick Lafferty.
The council agreed to solicit candidate questions from current members and the town will post application instructions for residents interested in filling the seat. The minutes do not record a formal vote to create the committee; the action described is a proposed process and next steps are administrative (posting instructions and collecting candidate materials).
